I started out on Saturday morning. The first day was pretty rough mostly because the wind was really blowing. Plus eastern Colorado and Kansas doesnt' have a whole lot of appeal. I arrived at my friends house in Kansas City just before they put their little girl Emma to bed. We got up on Sunday morning and got ready for the baseball game. A friend of theirs wanted to celebrate his birthday by taking in a KC Royals game. I tagged along... We headed down early and tailgated with hot dogs, hamburgers, chips... the typical tailgating foods. They renovated the ball park recently. They have an area with put-put golf, a carousel, etc. I'm not exactly a baseball fan and I had more fun playing with Emma. It was really great cause they had a deal on tickets, where each ticket purchased in the package came loaded with $10 to spend at the concessions. Also it was Build-@-Be@r day and the first 15,000 kids got a cute little stuffed lion. I thought it was really funny, during one of the TV time-outs (where they take a time out so they can air commercials on the televised game) they had a hot dog race. They have those at games I've been to back home. They have little animated characters that race... This one they had actual people dressed up as hot dogs, racing on the field.
It was hilarious. Emma had a blast at the game too. She thought it was great to have a seat all to herself.
After the game we went and visited Kari's mom and step-dad. They took us out to dinner. It was great! Here's all 4 of us the last evening I was there... before Emma fell asleep on the way back home.
I only saw them for a short time before they had to head off to work. I do get to visit for one night on my way home. It was really great to visit them. I don't get to see them near enough.
Tonight I am in Nashville and since I have a short drive tomorrow, I am planning on getting some rest tomorrow and even do a little sightseeing around Nashville.
